I've spent a lot of time in my own garden the past couple of months. It kind of takes away the stiff neck, upset stressed stomach, and headaches. Actually, I think a lot of us have been in our gardens lately, courtesy of the world we are living in! Gardening truly IS good for the soul.

oh funny story for you....i just found out my stepmom has lung cancer and only 15 months to live. one of the fellow teachers found out and came running in my room during show and tell and i immediately started crying because i knew she knew and all of my emotions just poured out- with a hannah montana doll in my lap, i put my head in my lap as well. the kids started yelling "don't cry on the toys!!!"what a sensitive bunch they are.

Beautiful poppy bed! I will have to check your profile ... you must live a little south of Ohio. My poppies are just growing. I also saw an old fashioned bleeding heart.... And the blue flowers??? I am stumped. They look like a perennial?

Thank you for sharing. I love to garden. I did a post earlier this week? on how I like to garden competitively with my neighbors.

Can I come help? So much more fun to work in beauty already in full swing than thinking of digging the compost piles into my garden and beginning the planting, two months late. So beautiful. I'd have to cut and bring those inside.

That does look like a place of replenishment. I need a place like that. Right now I'm going to the side yard where there are budding wisteria vines growing across our large arbor. Sometimes it's shady and cool enough in there to hang out. Alas, the kids or the dogs always find me in short order.

I spent time in my garden this weekend too, but your's looks better than mine. Are those poppies? Do you feel compelled to quote the Wicked Witch when you're in that part of the garden?Hell with the manicure - that garden is worth it!

Don't forget to tip the waitress. I really DO live on tips....

Cause I know you want to buy stuff...
